तत्राहमवसं रात्रि नैदाघी पुरुषर्षभ।७।। प्रभाते काल्यमुत्थाय सरस्तदुपचक्रमे। अथापश्यं शवं तत्र सुपुष्टमरजः क्वचित्॥ तिष्ठन्तं परया लक्ष्या तस्मिंस्तोयाशये नृप।

English Meaning
O best among the men, it was summer and I spent that night in that hermitage. Next morning leaving my bed I arrived at the banks of the pond and saw a plump dead body in the waters. None of its limbs was pale and its beauty was not spoiled.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
